"Seems that upwards of 650,000 Iragis alone have died as a result of Bush's impetious decision to ivade Irag..."

Utter crap. Boberts fabled statistic comes from an extrapolation of the widely disproven "Lancet" article that declared 500,000 Iraqi deaths that was based on "batch" sampling applied to the entire country. Now the IraqBodyCount web-site that actually investigates all reported deaths and causes comes to a figure of about 55,000 plus worst case. The Iraqi Government comes up with between 110,000 and 150,000 but they admit that their figures are estimates and that they cannot be verified.

Come on Bobert substantiate those figures that you are so keen to broadcast. You quote 'em so you must have some sort of source that substantiates them, or like everything else you spout - is this just another Bobert fact - i.e. totally ficticious.
